:03:52.:03:57.

excessive. Jaeger bomb with a coffee chaser. Diet Coke gets you

:03:57.:04:01.

up. Water flushes through and coffee if I do fall asleep, which I

:04:01.:04:10.

won't. Wow. Helena has high hopes for the show.

:04:10.:04:14.

It's nice when the sofa, the people are fans of each other. Michael,

:04:14.:04:22.

how many times due see Helena's last film? Dark shadows? Honestly,

:04:22.:04:25.

five times, I took my friends, my family. I thought it was a

:04:25.:04:28.

beautiful movie. I was so entertained through the whole thing.

:04:28.:04:35.

Thank you. Did you pay, five times? Yes, for a lot of people. Dear. I

:04:35.:04:39.

wish everybody else went five times. Did you see it once? I thought it

:04:39.:04:42.

was so good, I film today on a camcorder burnt it to a...

:04:42.:04:45.

LAUGHTER I wanted my friends to see it as

:04:45.:04:51.

well. I gave it to them at a reasonable price. Jack Whitehall, a

:04:51.:04:56.

big of wee might come out of Jack he's so excited. I'm on the same

:04:56.:05:01.

sofa as Michael Buble. He's not making this up. Really? I'm so

:05:01.:05:05.

excited to be here with you this evening. I'm at a stage in my life

:05:05.:05:10.

where my friends are going out right and they're having these all-

:05:10.:05:14.

night raifz and getting drunk and partying. I'm so over that. My

:05:14.:05:22.

ideal night - go home, run a bath, light some candles, open a botdle

:05:22.:05:27.

of sharaz, put ot a little of this man's music here and have what I

:05:27.:05:33.

like to refer to as a Buble bath. It's a dream, Michael. Honestly,

:05:34.:05:39.

you don't even know, this is crazy that you would say that. Because I

:05:39.:05:47.

have kept this in my wallet forever. It's not a photo of him. Is it a

:05:47.:05:57.

restraining order? Oh! It's a bromance. Look at those eyes!

:05:57.:06:03.

should have a Buble bath together one day, not in a gay way, like two

:06:03.:06:08.

boys at boarding school that want to conserve water. Like after a

:06:08.:06:11.

match. You are going to be excited because Mike sl performing later.

:06:11.:06:18.

Yes, he will. This is the Christmas considered. Which are you giving

:06:18.:06:23.

us? Jingle Bells with the most incredible group from here called

:06:23.:06:29.

the Papadopoulos sisters. If you don't know them, -- papinni sisters,

:06:29.:06:33.

if you don't know them, you're going to love them. You released

:06:33.:06:38.

four extra tracks? Yes. Last year the only thing that outsold this

:06:38.:06:44.

was Adele's 21. That's right, yes. It's massive. It turns out I'm a

:06:44.:06:49.

Christmas slut. You take it quite seriously. You

:06:49.:06:54.

love this. I love it. You go for it? I love it. I think my mum and

:06:54.:07:00.

dad gave me so much love and my sisters. We'd come from my

:07:00.:07:03.

grandparents and Christmas eve and they'd never heard me sing. I was

:07:03.:07:07.

nine, ten years old. You know the kids in the car with my sisters we

:07:07.:07:13.

were singing white Christmas, # I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

:07:13.:07:16.

with every Christmas card I write # And I went

:07:16.:07:26.
:07:26.:07:27.

# May your days be merry and bright And the whole car went? Christmas

:07:27.:07:35.

in the Helena Bonham Carter Burton family, we have a vision of your

:07:35.:07:40.

lives. It might be different from what you think. Is it traditional?

:07:40.:07:44.

Completely. Very boring. The first Christmas he decorated the trees,

:07:44.:07:49.

he likes creative control of the tree, he's quite artistic. He.tree

:07:49.:07:52.

and everything, but as you got close you saw there were zombies

:07:52.:07:58.

and dead babies and things. This is what I was like... Really? There

:07:58.:08:03.

were. He's a sick man. Didn't you notice? His movies, there's a lot

:08:03.:08:06.

of Christmas in the movies. loves Christmas. He got the lights

:08:07.:08:10.

today. Can I clarify there's a lot in the paper about oh, you guys

:08:10.:08:15.

live in separate houses. You just live in a big house don't you?

:08:15.:08:19.

You're right. Hang on, they just knocked through some houses. We did

:08:19.:08:24.

have little ones and now it looks like a big house which has no

:08:24.:08:27.

interior design constancey whatsoever. There's a bit like me,

:08:27.:08:32.

which is tasteful and then a bit of his, which is bizarre. But no,

:08:32.:08:36.

there's not actually, everybody seems to make us more interesting

:08:36.:08:41.

than we are. You just live like rich people. It's just a big house.

:08:41.:08:46.

Exactly, very rich people, very, very, very rich. The first time you

:08:46.:08:51.

spoke, though... At all, in life? No, to Tim. The first phone call,

:08:51.:08:55.

that didn't sound like the beginning of a romance. For me it

:08:55.:08:58.

was actually. I was in Australia doing a film, no-one saw that one,

:08:58.:09:04.

but I liked it. Any way, he phoned up saying, "I'm directing this film,

:09:04.:09:08.

Planet Of The Apes, it's Tim Burton here, it was in the middle of the

:09:08.:09:13.

night, never mind, cut to the chase, he said, "Don't take this the wrong

:09:13.:09:18.

way but you are the first person I thought of to play a chimpansy." I

:09:18.:09:23.

thought, God he's never met me, but he's got me. He had a feeling, he

:09:23.:09:27.

has a lot of good instinct about people that you like to cover up. I

:09:27.:09:32.

said you're completely right. was the first spark? There it began.

:09:33.:09:38.

It was that and her work in the PG Tips adverts which was phenomenal.

:09:38.:09:41.

You have been together now ten years, congratulations. Thank you,

:09:41.:09:42.

11 years. APPLAUSE

:09:42.:09:50.

Very good. That took the man from Canada to start the round of

:09:50.:09:54.

applause. Every British couple in here was like, they must hate each

:09:54.:09:59.

other by now. Michael Buble... Year-and-a-half, over a year-and-a-

:10:00.:10:06.

half you got married. Though it feels like 20. I mean 20 happy

:10:06.:10:13.

years. It's great, yeah. I married up. That's what I d. An actress

:10:13.:10:23.
:10:23.:10:30.

called luciana... Mrs Buble. When I try and pull girls, I use Michael

:10:30.:10:34.

Buble. Because I don't know if you're aware of this, but your

:10:34.:10:37.

music is clincher music. If you take a girl on a date and things

:10:37.:10:42.

aren't going well. You go back to yours and a bit of Buble and boom,

:10:42.:10:47.

someone's getting fingered. That's how it worked.

:10:47.:10:52.

LAUGHTER It is! Do you ever list ton one of

:10:52.:10:59.

your own CDs? When I am making a record, I go home and listen to it

:10:59.:11:03.

so I can basically judge it and destroy it and go back the next day

:11:03.:11:08.

and resing it. You know what we're asking. When I make love? When you

:11:08.:11:14.

make sweet love? When I make love? That's the thing, people are like

:11:14.:11:21.

Barry White. No you have sex with Barry White with -- in the

:11:21.:11:24.

background. You make love with Michael Buble. I would get through

:11:24.:11:30.

ten seconds of one song. # Another summer day... #

:11:30.:11:37.

Thi. -- thank you. I bet you make love

:11:37.:11:41.

like music, a cacophony of steady rhythms wheezing to a jazzy climax.

:11:41.:11:51.

In terms of your relationship, love at first sight, you meet her, but

:11:51.:11:55.

you can't communicate to begin with. We couldn't communicate and she

:11:55.:12:00.

couldn't speak English at all. Where did you meet her?

:12:00.:12:03.

Argentina after a show. I saw her across a crowded room. I was in

:12:03.:12:07.

love with her. She was invited to an after-party thing. She walked in

:12:07.:12:12.

with the greatest looking guy I've ever seen, he made Brad Pitt look

:12:12.:12:15.

like a fat turd. He came in and I, he could speak a little English,

:12:15.:12:20.

and it was heart breaking. You meet the woman of your dreams and then

:12:20.:12:24.

her boyfriend. I was drunk and as I got more drunk and more drunk, I

:12:24.:12:27.

was trying to figure out if they were together, but I didn't want to

:12:27.:12:31.

be rude. I would never do that to a guy. It's bad form. So by the time

:12:31.:12:35.

a few drinks went by I was trying to figure it out. I was just wasted.

:12:35.:12:41.

I ended up saying like "Oh, my God, look at your arm is so big. You

:12:41.:12:44.

guys are beautiful together." He said like, no, we're not together.

:12:44.:12:53.

And I said like oh, really. By that time my wife is already texting her

:12:53.:13:00.

mother saying "Oh, my God. He is so gay." Have you learned, is it

:13:00.:13:04.

Spanish or Portuguese? Brazil is Portuguese so it's Spanish. Have

:13:04.:13:09.

you learned some? I have a little bit. She says I speak like a cave

:13:09.:13:14.

man. Her English is, she went from not saying, really not a word to

:13:14.:13:19.

one day we were at her house in Argentina and I said to her, do you

:13:19.:13:24.

want to take this DVD back to blockbuster and she said "Yes,

:13:24.:13:28.

please place the corresponding considered within the correct

:13:28.:13:30.

package." LAUGHTER

:13:30.:13:39.

Again I married up. Now, we must talk about your new movie. We must.

:13:39.:13:43.

We must. Great Expectations, they've made it again, goddamn it.

:13:43.:13:48.

I've been talking about it for the last two weeks, and everybody goes

:13:48.:13:52.

again. O'Kay there was the telly one. But on the big green, the

:13:52.:13:57.

first movie that's been out 60- something years, I can't remember,

:13:57.:14:02.

but it's true. 61 years since the last thingy. It does, yeah. It's a

:14:02.:14:06.

very good version. It tellles the story brilliantly. You're fantastic.

:14:06.:14:12.

You're Mrs Haversham. Miss. That's the whole point. Sorry I didn't

:14:12.:14:16.

mean to spoil the plot for anyone. This one she actually gets married.

:14:16.:14:22.

That's a good script. You cheered it up. We thought we'd change it up

:14:22.:14:25.

and get her married. I read it. Also I wasn't trying to do

:14:25.:14:29.

something different, soy thought, ah, I read it, I did read it, I

:14:29.:14:32.

promise. Then the first thing, there was one piece that she was,

:14:32.:14:36.

when she hears the news she only puts one shoe on, so I played the

:14:36.:14:40.

whole thing with one shoe on one off. We never really got a shot of

:14:40.:14:44.

it. When we saw it, Tim thought like I was looking as if I'm

:14:44.:14:49.

hobbling and trying to be old. No I'm proud to be 45, but I'm playing

:14:49.:14:53.

it like Cinderella and it's a fairy-tale. There is lots of fairy-

:14:54.:15:03.
:15:04.:15:08.

It's out next Friday, 30th November. Here a clip. It's miss Haversham

:15:08.:15:18.
:15:18.:15:26.

meeting Pip, I think, for the first You will use it well. Now, let me

:15:26.:15:34.

see you play cards with him. But he is a common neighbouring boy.

:15:34.:15:44.
:15:44.:15:53.

can break his heart. What do you play, boy? Nothing but pickeringham.

:15:53.:16:00.

So play it. We can't talk about your career without mentioning

:16:00.:16:07.

Harry Potter. Yeah. Did different people approach you after Harry

:16:07.:16:11.

Potter? They gallon really scared. I was walking down the street and

:16:11.:16:17.

someone just screamed. A fully grown adult they went ahhh. There

:16:17.:16:22.

are young children who are scared of me. They are scared of me.

:16:22.:16:26.

Between that... Sometimes it's quite useful. I have a wand at home.

:16:26.:16:30.

When Billy, my son, brings kids who I don't particularly like I just

:16:30.:16:35.

get the wand. Or they are not being particularly good. Take the wand

:16:35.:16:40.

out and they suddenly... Hallowe'en, trick or treating people run away

:16:40.:16:45.

from your house screaming. "it's so good." It's the one time we don't

:16:45.:16:50.

have to dress up. We blend in. weird thing is, in Harry Potter you

:16:50.:16:58.

could have been working with Jack? How? Was it a missed opportunity.

:16:58.:17:04.

auditions. The eyes. I could have made a very good Kop Potter. I

:17:04.:17:12.

looked like Harry Potter. I was a massive Pothead. Into Harry Potter,

:17:12.:17:19.

not weed. I used to get teased at school. There was a school bully.

:17:19.:17:29.
:17:29.:17:30.

The school bullyy was horrible to me. He was Hatkushoi. He used to

:17:30.:17:40.
:17:40.:17:41.

say "Potter why don't you piss off back to Hucklepfuff." Harry Potter

:17:41.:17:51.
:17:51.:17:51.

was in Griffindor! Expellious. The clue is in the picture. I think you

:17:51.:18:00.

are aged 11. Who would bully that?! That is very cute. I wouldn't have

:18:00.:18:03.

been a good Harry Potter. Harry Potter does stuff. I wouldn't bg

:18:03.:18:10.

like... I was, you know if I got given the invisibility cloak Ron is

:18:10.:18:20.
:18:20.:18:24.

like Can We Find the Fee loss ter's Stone? Daniel Radcliffe made an

:18:24.:18:27.

amazing Harry Potter. I heard a story that summed up how hard it

:18:27.:18:34.

was. A friend of mine was at a house party that Daniel was at.

:18:35.:18:40.

this true I was like - Daniel was at the house party. One of the

:18:40.:18:45.

biggest movie stars in the world. Presumably people were asking for

:18:45.:18:50.

photographs with him, girls wanting to sign his breasts. My mate went

:18:50.:18:57.

"no, that is not what happened. I went upstairs and and five of his

:18:57.:19:03.

friends were standing outside chanting "magic your way out of

:19:03.:19:11.

that knobhead "." Is that true? don't know. I wasn't at the house

:19:11.:19:15.

party. After two years you are returning to she's shores to tour.

:19:15.:19:23.

I know. Why has it taken so long, people love it here? I was a huge

:19:23.:19:28.

fan of Elvis Presley, his thing was to leave them wanting more. I think

:19:28.:19:33.

it's nice not to over stay your welcome. I wanted to put out a new

:19:33.:19:38.

record. I got married. My family is my priority. I needed to get away a

:19:38.:19:43.

little bit. It paid off. The O2 went mad. 100,000 tickets sold in

:19:44.:19:52.

less than five minutes. Yes. Oh, my God! I know. It's not that

:19:52.:19:58.

impressive. I bought 60,000. bought the rest! Yeah. Your parents

:19:58.:20:03.

must be so, I don't know, fabulous they have lived to see your success.

:20:03.:20:07.

There must have been times when they thought - give it up, Michael.

:20:07.:20:12.

It's not going to happen? How long did it take you. 16 when I started.

:20:13.:20:19.

No, that is when he started! But, yeah, it's, obviously, it's amazing

:20:19.:20:29.

for them. It's like the Lottery. billion albums, still selling.

:20:29.:20:35.

you give them money? Do you share it? Yeah. Not that I regret it,

:20:35.:20:40.

but... But it's just kind of weird when you are working your ass off

:20:40.:20:44.

and every time you talk to your family they are on vacation

:20:44.:20:49.

somewhere. That is the honest to God truth. Sometimes it's difficult,

:20:49.:20:55.

you know? I'm in Ohio in a little hotel you are in Hawaii again for

:20:55.:21:00.

the fourth time this month! Is it true that your parents got you into

:21:00.:21:06.

singing as a memory technique? Was it your address? I couldn't

:21:06.:21:16.

remember shit. They would say, your address is 3049 Cardinal Drive. My

:21:16.:21:23.

dad said # 304D Cardinal Drive... #

:21:23.:21:28.

That stayed in my head forever. just want to write that down. That

:21:28.:21:35.

is where you are. It is really true. A beautiful voice singing something

:21:35.:21:39.

as biennial as an address. We thought, what else could Michael

:21:39.:21:44.

sing? Well, obviously there are. Big Michael Buble fans. Any ladies

:21:44.:21:48.

close by. You look like a Michael Buble... You look like a fan of

:21:49.:21:55.

everybody. Are you a fan of Michael Buble? Yeah. Are you. Is that your

:21:55.:22:01.

husband? Yes. Are you feeling a little jealous, sir? Yes. Do you

:22:01.:22:07.

have a modern phone. I have a little cheap one. Does it receive

:22:08.:22:13.

text messages? Yes. Give me your phone. What is your name? Dawn.

:22:13.:22:21.

This is Dawn. Where are your texts in there now? My texts. Texts.

:22:21.:22:29.

There we go. So, if I go to the "inbox", yeah. Yeah. Lovely. Here's

:22:30.:22:39.
:22:40.:22:44.

one, are you Clief? No! -- Clive? No! Dawn, youminx! Clive said to

:22:45.:22:54.
:22:55.:22:56.

you "I'll be getting you -- an early night see you... This is your

:22:57.:23:06.
:23:07.:23:07.

son. He is a dentist and I have a tooth ache. I see. OK. OK. Let us

:23:07.:23:17.
:23:17.:23:23.

see if Michael can sing this text. When You Wish Upon A Star.

:23:23.:23:27.

# Well, I will be getting an early night

:23:27.:23:37.
:23:37.:23:46.

# See you soon # And your niggle

:23:46.:23:55.

# See you tomorrow # Clive, x, x, x... #

:23:55.:24:02.

Beautiful. There we go. That is for you, Dawn. Very good. Right. That

:24:02.:24:12.
:24:12.:24:14.

was gorgeous. Amazing. Thank you. Jack Whitehall, you have finished a

:24:14.:24:20.

tour? A year ago. OK. Sorry. He did finish it. I did. It lives on in

:24:20.:24:25.

the form of a DVD. The one that Michael Buble's wife was returning

:24:25.:24:31.

in that story. She didn't like it. The beginning of this year I

:24:31.:24:35.

recorded. Where are you in your life, have you moved out of home?

:24:35.:24:40.

Yes I'm trying to become more mature, adult, grownup human being

:24:40.:24:44.

and sort of failing in that respect. How old are you now? I was going to

:24:44.:24:48.

ask you. 24 years of age. I have ID to prove it. I talk about

:24:48.:24:52.

relationships as well. I had a couple of failed relationships now

:24:52.:24:56.

which have made me learn things. I had a relationship with a girl who

:24:56.:25:02.

split up with me because she said I was too immature which is a gay

:25:02.:25:12.
:25:12.:25:12.

thing to say. She said that. It was about when... Like, I nend a

:25:12.:25:16.

chicken suit, basically, it's a call back to when I was getting

:25:16.:25:24.

back with her. I got drunk. I was dressed as a chicken it was a

:25:24.:25:30.

costume dressing up party. I was dressed as a chicken am I did win.

:25:30.:25:36.

We came back to her house at 4700 am and she was - you are so mature.

:25:36.:25:44.

I opened the door stinking of booze saying I had been kicked out of KFC

:25:44.:25:49.

for storming in and demanding to have my children back. It doesn't

:25:49.:25:59.
:25:59.:26:01.

go down well. Clearly, you're posh. Your audience is quite posh as well,

:26:01.:26:10.

isn't it? Quite. I heard the poshish heckle. I was doing a story

:26:11.:26:18.

about a TV chef. In the story I said "he went over and switched on

:26:18.:26:25.

his aga" a man at the back of the room with such rage stood up and

:26:25.:26:35.
:26:35.:26:35.

said "you can't switch on a Aga, that is the point !" That is my fan

:26:35.:26:41.

base. Your fans send you things? They do send me things. I'm crap at

:26:41.:26:45.

answering fan mail. You brought in a piece. I did bring in a piece.

:26:45.:26:51.

This is the only thing I read in the last week. Apologise to anybody

:26:51.:26:57.

who sent me something. It's beautiful. Very nicely done. A fan

:26:57.:27:05.

made this. It's called "25 Carter cart has taught me." things like

:27:05.:27:15.
:27:15.:27:18.

The Best Outfits Don't cpvp to Match -- Have to Match. People feel

:27:18.:27:28.
:27:28.:27:34.

better until No 17. No 17. It's OK To Have Short Thick Legs. My friend

:27:34.:27:41.

said, read it, it will make you feel good. She hadn't read it all.

:27:41.:27:48.

I just went "ugh." I never said it was OK to have short thick legs.

:27:48.:27:56.

Maybe I'm making her feel OK about hers? Let's go with that. If I've

:27:56.:28:02.

made short thick legs fashionable I've done something really helpful

:28:02.:28:08.

for female... Yes. Michael Buble, I love reading about your fans. Your

:28:08.:28:16.

fans are proper... People faint when they meet you? A couple of

:28:16.:28:20.

times did. I'm not like a One Direction guy. I feel horrible for

:28:20.:28:27.

them. I can see it happening too. You should have smelling salts.

:28:27.:28:34.

Then I couldn't slap them awake. Yeah, you can it happening too. You

:28:34.:28:40.

know what it isn't, it's not like the freak out like The Beatles.

:28:40.:28:44.

It's like I'm talking to them and I say "thank you very much" I see it

:28:44.:28:49.

in their eye they are socially anxious they go "oh, my gosh I

:28:49.:28:56.

can't believe..." then you see them fading. Then it's "boom." Sometimes

:28:56.:29:00.

your fans can be very direct. Do they whisper something to you?

:29:00.:29:05.

this is horrible. This is just... They give you an insight into who I

:29:05.:29:10.

am and how gigantic my ego is. I was at a signing, like a book store,

:29:10.:29:16.

a record store, this girl came up and she was very hot. She was about

:29:16.:29:23.

18/19 years old. She looked at me with these very sexy eyes she said

:29:23.:29:29.

"oh, Michael, does your penis give lessons?" I was so happy about this,

:29:29.:29:35.

you don't even know! I had my publicist with me. I looked at her

:29:35.:29:45.
:29:45.:29:46.

and and said "this lady just asked me if my penis gave lessons." this

:29:46.:29:53.

girl said, "I said, does your pianist give lessons"! I don't hear

:29:53.:29:57.

what I want to hear! Oh, God. It gives you insight. Be care whafl

:29:57.:30:07.

I'm thinking about being in that class. Michael Buble will be

:30:07.:30:11.

singing shortly. First, let's say hello to my final guest. Show this

:30:11.:30:15.

man and globe and he'll trot it. Please welcome. Michael Palin!

:30:15.:30:25.
:30:25.:30:33.

Have a seat. Hello. Hi guys. How nice. Lovely to see you. It's like

:30:33.:30:36.

breaking into a party that's going really well here and in comes the

:30:36.:30:41.

vicar. Can you keep the noise down, please? Now for the boring bit.

:30:41.:30:46.

It's always lovely to see you. and you too. This Christmas you

:30:46.:30:52.

bring us a handsome tomb. Yes, it's beautiful, a book of your trip to

:30:53.:30:58.

Brazil, handsomely produced. Very handsomely, yes. Fantastic photos,

:30:58.:31:02.

wonderful text, page numbering absolutely terrific, really almost

:31:02.:31:07.

accurate throughout. And it weighs a ton. It's a proper... That's a

:31:07.:31:11.

proper book. You feel you have a proper gift. It's a lavish BBC

:31:11.:31:15.

production. But you know there are some cost-cutting going around the

:31:15.:31:21.

some cost-cutting going around the BBC. You did use some local crews.

:31:21.:31:26.

Yes, they have been filmed so often that they now know how to use

:31:26.:31:30.

cameras and they now how to use quite sophisticated computer

:31:30.:31:34.

programmes and all. That they've leapt from being people of the

:31:34.:31:41.

rainforest to people who can work out quite sophisticated technical

:31:41.:31:46.

equipment. Do though necessity -- they know what you want? "Do you

:31:46.:31:51.

want us to do the dance sning" They've been on Come Dine With Me.

:31:51.:31:54.

Some of the places you've been to are so remote, there's no way you

:31:54.:31:59.

can make that comfortable in telly land. It must have been hell.

:31:59.:32:03.

it wasn't hell. It was kind of exciting and interesting. They

:32:03.:32:07.

don't, all right you sleep in a hammock all night and it's a

:32:07.:32:10.

strange... We were talking about that, did you really sleep in that

:32:10.:32:15.

hammock all night? Of course I did, all night. How long? Did they not

:32:15.:32:21.

have a lilo for you? How many hours did you get? How much sleep do you

:32:21.:32:31.
:32:31.:32:33.

need? Yeah, Michael! She's drunk her coffee. I'm running out.

:32:33.:32:40.

think it's great when comedians really slum it. I watched the most

:32:40.:32:46.

amazing documentary where Leny Henry stayed in a Premier Inn. It

:32:46.:32:49.

tugged at your heart strings. I don't know how he got through it.

:32:49.:32:57.

wanted that gig. Was there any place that's were insecure or

:32:57.:33:00.

more... Dangerous? People say Brazil is dangerous. I had no

:33:00.:33:04.

problems. We didn't feel threatened at any point. But take a turn down

:33:04.:33:10.

the wrong street and you probably find problems. In Salvador,

:33:10.:33:14.

beautiful city, but no-one stops at red traffic lights after 11pm. You

:33:14.:33:19.

just move on. I never know what the problem is with danger. I get into

:33:19.:33:24.

places and people say, "You went there?! Someone just got killed or

:33:24.:33:29.

eaten there." Oh, really, it looks very nice to me. The sun's shining.

:33:29.:33:35.

Oh, is that a snake, oohhh. I'll eat that later. It wasn't just

:33:35.:33:40.

people you encountered, you had lots of animals in the film. What

:33:40.:33:46.

are the dolphins? The pink river dolphins. They're quite dangerous,

:33:46.:33:51.

I'm told. You swam with them. didn't know they were dangerous. I

:33:51.:33:54.

thought, I've never swum with dolphins. I thought they were

:33:54.:33:59.

lovely, nice faces and that. They're smiley. They make you feel

:33:59.:34:04.

better. There they are. They have a lot of teeth. They're about a foot

:34:04.:34:10.

long, 25 teeth. Was it in Hawaii you had a wildlife encount sner

:34:10.:34:14.

Yeah, you know, I go there with my wife and buddies every year. One

:34:14.:34:22.

year I went there and I got hammered, just shittered just drunk

:34:22.:34:27.

and a skunk. The next morning, I said to them because my friends are

:34:27.:34:30.

crazy, boys, just be cool tonight, don't do something stupid, stay out

:34:30.:34:35.

of the water. All that stuff. When we woke up the next morning. I felt

:34:35.:34:39.

great. They said "You know man, you were crazy last night." I got angry

:34:39.:34:42.

because they kept accusing me of doing this stuff. It wasn't true,

:34:42.:34:48.

until they showed me a picture of me dry humping a sea turtle.

:34:48.:34:53.

believe we have the picture. There you are.

:34:53.:35:00.

That's a big sea turtle. I swear to you I had zero recollection of that

:35:00.:35:04.

turtle. Sometimes I hope the turtle for got me too. I love your face.

:35:05.:35:12.

There is no expression at all. That's called enjoying. It's love.

:35:12.:35:16.

The turtle is waiting for you to call. That's probably the most

:35:16.:35:19.

exciting thing that's happened to that turtle in about 123 years.

:35:19.:35:24.

They live a long time. Very rarely do they get a major world singer

:35:24.:35:28.

dry hum pg them. APPLAUSE

:35:28.:35:35.

-- humping. Mike sl going to be singing for us, no, not you.

:35:35.:35:39.

APPLAUSE You can, if you want to. Certainly

:35:39.:35:46.

not. You sing Canada's National Anthem.

:35:46.:35:52.

a seat. Very good. Swingle all the way. Swing, swingle bells. Just a

:39:13.:39:17.

time for a story or two in the red chair. Who is first? Hello Sir.

:39:17.:39:24.

Hello. What's your name? Rob. do you live? In market harbour in

:39:24.:39:27.

Leicestershire. It's lovely there. Paip paip paip has been there. Mind

:39:27.:39:30.

-- Michael Palin has been there, mind you, he's been everywhere.

:39:30.:39:35.

What do you do? Well I live there, but I work in Swindon, it doesn't

:39:35.:39:44.

get better than that. What a lovely morning. Right off you go. I was in

:39:44.:39:48.

London and walking past Buckingham Palace... That's a great start to a

:39:48.:39:54.

story. Our expectations are so high now. And out of the gate comes

:39:54.:40:02.

Nelson Mandela. Oh! Name drop. Didn't see it coming. OK. He's

:40:02.:40:06.

wearing this flipping hot shirt and I just said to him "Where did you

:40:06.:40:10.

get that shirt from." Like I had been hanging out with Nelson

:40:10.:40:14.

Mandela for a while. Did he answer me at all? He grinned a very nice

:40:15.:40:22.

grin. I bought it from Primark. I got introduced to Nelson Mandela

:40:22.:40:27.

once and he thanked me for helping end apartheid. I was thinking, I

:40:27.:40:32.

didn't do that much, I signed a petition on the night bus. I met

:40:32.:40:36.

him and told him I loved him in Shaw shank redemgs. That was not

:40:37.:40:43.

good. One more. Why not. This is is.

:40:43.:40:49.

We're hoping this is is. It's going to be the turtle I got... By

:40:49.:40:59.

Michael Buble. Hello? Hello! Hi Graham. He looks

:40:59.:41:03.

serious, like he means business. Biker dude. What's your name?

:41:03.:41:07.

Steve from Belfast. And do you live in Belfast or here? I live in

:41:07.:41:15.

London. What do you do? I'm a director in a sales company. Mmm.

:41:15.:41:23.

He looks like a bit a. -- of a shit. My balls are so bigamy legs need to

:41:23.:41:32.

be like this. -- go ahead. I was in Dublin with

:41:32.:41:37.

my girlfriend, who is now my ex- girlfriend. We were celebrating our

:41:37.:41:43.

year's anniversary and in a fancy restaurant. In the corner we seen

:41:43.:41:53.

Bono having dinner with a friend. The Edge? Being big YouTube fans as

:41:53.:41:57.

we are, we thought shall we go over and ask for an autograph and a

:41:57.:42:01.

picture. Go, go. We thought it might not be appropriate. Bono got

:42:01.:42:06.

up and went to the toilet and this was our chance, soy went over and

:42:06.:42:10.

asked the friend, he was with just one friend, and I asked "Do you

:42:10.:42:15.

think Bono would mind if me and my girlfriend got a picture and an

:42:15.:42:22.

autograph. We're big U2 fans." The friend said, he's a very private

:42:22.:42:27.

person. We're having dinner. Come back to your table. When he comes

:42:27.:42:33.

back, if he's OK with it, I'll wave you over. Five minutes later he

:42:33.:42:39.

came back. Only five minutes. OK. He came back addened friend waved

:42:39.:42:45.

us over so we ran over like two geeks and said Bono we're big U2

:42:45.:42:49.

fans... We got all that, yes! together a year, can we have a

:42:49.:42:54.

photo and a picture, yes no problem. I give the camera to the friend who

:42:54.:42:58.

then took a picture of three of us and he signed an autograph no

:42:58.:43:02.

problem. We went back to our table very happy. An hour or so later, I

:43:02.:43:06.

went to the waiter to get the bill and the waiter said no, your bill

:43:06.:43:11.

has been paid for. I said well, who's paid for that, has Bono paid

:43:11.:43:17.

for our dinner. No Bruce Springsteen did, he was the friend

:43:17.:43:20.

who we didn't recognise... APPLAUSE

:43:20.:43:30.
:43:30.:43:30.

Yeah. Wow, you can walk. Go, go. What a good story. Well done

:43:30.:43:37.
